My stance on the BCS-Boise-TCU thing is, if you want to see if they're good enough, strengthen their schedule. Boise played VT and Nevada this year, that's it. TCU beat a Utah team that lost to a Notre Dame team that beat USC. Let them prove themselves as contenders

That being said, earlier in the year at the beginning of the season, they compared Boise's out of conference schedule to the defending champs, Alabama, schedule. The preseason rankings were comparable between the teams. No one WANTS to play Boise or TCU, except fro publicity or if they think they've got a shot.

Here's Boise's out of conference schedule: vs. Toledo, @ Wyoming, vs. Oregon State, vs. Virginia Tech (Washington, D.C.)

Here's TCU's: vs. Oregon State (Arlington, Texas), vs. Baylor, @ SMU, TBA

Compare this to Oregon's: vs. New Mexico, @ Tennessee, vs. Portland State

Or Bama's: vs. San Jose State, vs. Penn State, @ Duke, vs. Georgia State

Or Auburn: vs. Arkansas State, vs. Clemson, vs. Louisiana-Monroe, vs. Chattanooga

Boise and TCU both have better out of conference schedules than Oregon or Auburn, the current top two teams. They've done what they could with stregthening their out of conference schedule, it's their confernce that messes up the rankings.

jeez those were the days

And speaking of those days, I've decided to go back to playing MLB power pros 2007

I had my rosters updated but now I can't keep track at all for 2008 so I just decided to do 2007 with normal rosters

I love it more than ever now maybe. I still love season mode(and it's music) and success mode 2007 is still awesome and nostalgic

Just for this forum, I hope they make MLB power pros 2011

Wow I just found something out in Power Pros that I didn't know

I know that there are broken bats. But in season mode a Royals player hit a broken bat single to left but from the corner of my eye I saw the exclamation point(the surprise looking one) over Lowell and he had been knocked down by the broken bat

The bat went that way(you couldn't see it but on contact you could) and hit Lowell :shock:

I'd never seen that before

Wow, that's really cool (well, bad) that that can happen in game! Good find.

Is that in '07 or '08?

We'll see who's good when TCU moves to the Big East.

With that being said, the BCS is saying that Boise and TCU need to have HARDER schedules than Alabama and Oregon, not even

Russia will host the 2018 World Cup. QATAR will host the 2022 World Cup. Huh?

maccrash21 · **Posted:** Thu Dec 02, 2010 4:49 pm

That's sad. It would've been AWESOME to host the World Cup. And as a sidenote, Bill Clinton's probably pissed.

RobDiesel61 · **Posted:** Thu Dec 02, 2010 7:47 pm

QUATAR is freaken 120 Degrees World Cup Time -.-

Wow I just beat the Champion Rings in Year 2 for just the 2nd time ever, without Alvin. My D contact, E power guy magically hit a homerun in the 1st and drove in another in a double play later on. The most surprising part has to be Toby's 7 2/3 shutout innings

I just heard the joke of the day for me

What's the difference between Saturn and LeBron James?

They're both big and full of gas, but at least Saturn has rings.
